Are you on or off? What say you?

OFF.  As in off-loading. I have way too much gear and LP's. My kids don't want it. My grand-kids don't understand it. So I have to sell it, which is a giant pain in so many ways. My wife asked me (more than once) why do I need 9 turntables, 6 sets of speakers, 8 tuners, etc. Most pieces are "Golden Age" equipment that I spent a great deal of time restoring  to pristine cosmetic and operating condition. I cycle through gear just for fun and usually am listening to my main system in the living room and another in the finished basement. But I've got let the gear go.

I am "on" when I'm awake and off when I'm asleep.

The rest of the time I am ambivalent. 

Off- If it’s pointless merry-go-round 

On- if I’m open to possible future well thought of upgrades

Where do you purchase tickets? What park?

I’m Off, and still trying to get the bad taste out of my mouth from being on. Over this past year my room has seen three different streamers, multiple cable interconnects and speaker cable, and a highly reviewed integrated amp. Each one of these turned out to be a step in the wrong direction. Everything I have in my rack now was there over a year ago. I’m back to where I started and happy to be there – wiser but poorer. I’m off, and glad to be off  – and loving my system.
